Hey there! I just changed my blogskin :) It's a little user-unfriendly because you can't navigate my past posts by headings or hashtags. So i'm gonna update the codings, stay tuned! (The font's kinda hard to read too..other than these 3 peeves, i'm quite satisfied) Follow me on the links below! :) 29/4/2015.
Started this blog during the last few weeks of SEM1(AY2014/15) cos' i regained interest in blogging. I blog about anything - news, social issues, music - but mostly about my university life :) Hope my posts will help you to make better life (and module) choices! Currently a Sociology Major. Still fresh. xD
Yesterday, we concluded our last session at BT. As part of the local CIP planning team, i felt like i didn't do much :/ T_T It feels like we planned games in a rush, i mean compared to soci camp where we'd test the games and refine it, discuss about it, to the best we can (or at least for the progs team ahehehe). Hahaha. It's different, for this we didn't have so much time, and kinda lucky i had soci camp games to fall back on lul. But still, it was just mass game sessions. Thinking about it, as part of the planning team, i never exactly thought how i could make it better, more meaningful, because sometimes it's really a drag to prep..with all the assignments, socisoc stuffz. I think i don't feel invested enough in this, maybe cos i wasn't prepared? But i did learn alot from BT. I just felt like i received more than what i've given :(
Today we had 5 boys. Haha, it's nice to see one of them open up more towards the end, especially when he scored at the ping pong game. And it's nice to see them encouraging each other. But y'know, after the interviews i had with the 3 social workers i can't help to think what these boys went through, why are they here, and what happened to those who weren't here?? Like R and M :( Why did they have detention? It was our last meeting. Haiz, so this makes me want to really try my hardest for socip cos i don't want to have any regrets. I feel like i have more flexibility in SOCIP as well, haha partially because im the one in control but i also try to empower my volunteers, involving them in the planning processes. But i know, not everyone thinks like me, not everyone is as dedicated, and sometimes i also dk what im doing..and some ppl might be lost and just doing something to spend time.
Last tuesday for SOCIP, we had a quick sharing session - did not go as in deep as i wanted compared to woc reflections hmz. But anyway, i think we have to bond the volunteers together more, and that's tough cos they all come from diff fac. I wonder if they even know each other. Because when you come, you'll just be attached to your kid, and after that they dont mix around that much. So i wish today's sharing session can break the barrier haha. Or maybe i am just a control micro manager freak that worries about this kinda minute shit idk.
Anyway, cheeeers and hope i find inspiration for my self and soc lul

“To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.”
- James Allen Quotes
Sometimes I wonder how people see me and what they think of me. It scares me a bit, honestly. I am sure though, that what they think of me,
what they think my life is, is a complete misperception. I have always tried to show myself as a carefree person, as someone who wont get bothered
because of public judgements. I am sure my friend and family think there is nothing going wrong in my life, that I do not worry enough, that
I am always happy. And I am sure they probably somewhat hate me for it because, lets admit it, there is nothing worse than seeing someone
who is life seems so perfect while yours is a complete mess. Truth is, I have become an expert at pretending. I think we are all experts
or at least we are getting there.
